NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Motek
Mobile has announced an exclusive deal with Spire

Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Mary J. Blige, Junior MAFIA,

anniversary of Biggie’s death on March 9th,
1997.
Two
weeks after being killed in a shooting, Notorious
B.I.G.’s album “Life After Death”
was released and went on to sell over 18 million copies,
making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.
Ten years later, “Life After Death: The Movie”
chronicles the music family he left behind from 1997
to 2007 in an epic story of friendship and betrayal.
After B.I.G.’s death, his right-hand man, Damion
“D-Roc” Butler manages rap stars Lil’
Kim and Junior MAFIA through a decade of triumph and
tragedy as they live, work and travel the world together
ending with the infamous Hot 97 shootout that landed
Lil’ Kim and D-Roc in federal prison.
The
movie, collaborated closely with Bad Boy Records head
Sean “Diddy” Combs and Notorious B.I.G.’s
mother Voletta Wallace, and narrated by Jamie Hector
from HBO’s hit series “The Wire”,
contains rare footage of Biggie, live performances
and behind-the-scenes music video footage of the “First
Family” of hip-hop, which will all be available
for wireless download.
“We’re
honored to be a part of this project”, said
Tyler Weichel, CEO of Motek Mobile. “Biggie
is one of the most influential superstars in hip-hop
history. To offer this rare mobile content to our
subscriber base and to perpetuate Biggie’s incredible

and to offer the movie to mobile phone users and hip-hop’s
massive following" said Roget Romain, Co-President
